It was fun whilst it lasted, but I guess all good things must come to an end!

    Indeed it was and I was just getting into it, even posting this morning before it mysteriously disappeared ...

    Anyone know why the "postie vicious assault" thread was removed?

    I believe the original poster may have been banned. All his posts in the praise sky thread have also been deleted. It seems a bit overboard by the mods as unless there was some new stuff posted this morning there was nothing really offensive in the thread

    I wasted some time reading that thread last night (I was waiting for Silent Witness to start :)). The OP was a troll and was probably more than satisfied that he/she had managed to generate so many pages of responses in such a short amount of time!

    To be honest it was quite an eye opener to see how easily an internet troll can whip up that sort of reaction but his/her work here was done so he/she will move on to another forum after being banned/removed from here.

    I found the responses from it in the Sky thread more obnoxious though...repeating "Shut Up" over and over deserved attention from mods and I don't think they were being overboard at all.

    Anyway at the risk of falling victim myself to a now banned troll I'll go put the washing out now the monsoon seems to have passed :j

    So the pompous colonel has bitten the dust.

    I suppose it was better than having an early morning present of dog poo pushed through his letter box.

    It was fun while it lasted lol

    VB has a tool to remove all traces of a new user
    (depending on admin parameters)
    so a couple of clicks and its done
    easier than going through threads to delete posts
